Having no idea about tarot decks, it would have been really useful to be linked to somewhere that can explain each card for someone who has no idea, otherwise this game doesn't make much sense to a casual 'hey I want to try this' person like myself. I know I can google this but it would be great to be linked to somewhere that says it fairly succinctly that would be good for this game.
Thank you for the feedback! I thought about posting a link to Tarot websites here on this page, but so many people have their own favorites that I didn't want to bias anyone towards a particular site over another. I also didn't want to date the game, so to speak, by linking to a site that might feel innovative now but looks and feels clunky just a few months down the line. As you said, Google is really a great bet for this because you can pick and choose what on-line Tarot format (and often even deck!) you prefer. Were I totally new to Tarot, I might rely on their first result for online Tarot spreads, the Labyrinthos Academy, to get me started, at least at this moment in time. I hope you find it helpful!
I also hope that this game helps launch you on your own journey of discovery with Tarot, and especially that you find a physical deck that you resonate with. Online decks are great, but nothing beats having a physical deck of your own to examine at your leisure. Most also come with guidebooks that help explain each card in depth as well as the designer's vision for the deck. Best of luck in your journey, and happy gaming!
I absolutely know that feeling! Please feel free to share the story, if you'd like. This game is meant to be a springboard for your imagination, so it would be awesome if you kept creating adventures for your character!
oh god no i'm too shy. but i will write it down somewhere, so i can always reach for those characters or themes. maybe one day i'll create something i'd be ok to share publicly lol like a little comic or illustration :o
hey, really interesting game love that is compatible with various decks
i also did create a tarot-based rpg, but mine is kind of limited to the Major Arcana in Marseille - and doesn't actually uses the meaning as i opted for a "inspired by" approach. would love to hear your thoughts on it if possible, is available on my profile, it is called Arcana Magna
